Part primer on how to model for artists and part art historical imagining, The Higher Call offers an intimate glimpse inside the private world of the art studio. LuLu Johnson uses her degree in art history and her personal experience to give voice to Picasso's muses and reflect on work as a life model. These fifteen interwoven poems let models step out of the frame to speak of their longing, betrayal, and desire to be seen. The collection explores what it means to give one's life over to art and asks what price women pay to become immortal. Funny and fearless, lyrical and unflinching, The Higher Call brings art and history to life with musical sensuality.
